Adapting eight-band k·p theory to electronic structure calculations of quantum dots — •O. Stier1, R. Heitz1, M. Grundmann1,2, and D. Bimberg11Institut für Festkörperphysik, Technische Universität Berlin, PN 5-2, Hardenbergstraße 36, D-10623 Berlin — 2Universität Leipzig, Institut für Experimentelle Physik II, Linnéstr. 5, D-04103 Leipzig

An improved concept for using the k·p method for electronic structure calculations of inhomogeneously strained quantum dots with large confinement is proposed rendering the eight-band k·p model a reliable tool for the investigation of shape and composition effects on the electronic and optical structure of quantum dots [1]. The enhanced predictive power for properties of zero-dimensional states is achieved by a well-defined selection procedure for the bulk property parameters of the constituent materials. A comparison with atomistic calculations demonstrates the efficiency of our method and suggests that effects of the atomic structure play a marginal role in many relevant types of self-assembled quantum dots.
